To all whom 'it may concern: rolls and are Wound onto spools, which are af- Beit knownl that I, BENJAMIN F. HAIGH, terward transferred to the spinning machine oi Philadelphia, Peni';sy1vania, have invented or mule, Where they are converted into spotted a new and useful limprovementin Cardin@ yarn.V i l Machines, of whichthe followingis a specifi! As the movement of the revolving ticker-iu cation: l a is regular, it follows that the Vbunches or tufts of spotting-sliversfmust be laid .on the llap at regular intervals, and the yarn into ofwhich slvers with spots at regular intervals subsequently converted into spotted yarn.

VIn the accompanying drawing, Figure '1 is f rolls b mrelation to thatof the licher-in, and the dlstance between the spots bythe speed of' said lioker-in in relation to that of the er carding-en ne to show my improved spotof yarn `produced according to my invention. 'ln yarn produced from sliversmade by the above-described machine eachspot is promi nent and Well defined `as shown 'in Fig. 2

Above the doier D I arrange a' rotating I am aware that spotted yarns have hercto fore beenproduced by depositing colored tufts on the lap in a carding-maohine. This, therefore, I do 'not claim, broadly; but

I claim as my invention .1. The combination, in a carding-machino, of 'the main cylinder A with :the rolls b I1 for feeding lthe spotting-s livers, anda rotating licher-in, a, provided with one or more rows of gitudinally-toothed blades or rows of teeth,.
